Zusammenfassung:	An improved pipe handling apparatus, which incorporates a catwalk assembly a nd trough, the trough portion of which is movable at a proximal end thereof to allow positioning proximate a rig floor to present drill pipe, collars and the like thereto. T he assembly also receives drill pipe and the like from the rig floor for subsequent handling by the catwalk assembly. The assembly has a kicker assembly for ejecting pipe. In a further refinement, a pivoting leg member is provided which is releaseably coupleable to a distal end of the trough to permit raising of the trough. In another refinement, an integrated dump assembly may further be provided to receive pipe which has been ejected from the trough.< /SDOAB>
